International Classification:

D03D 27/00

US Classification:

156072000

Abstract:

A primary carpet backing that is tuftable with carpet face yarn has a self-bonded or spunbonded or needlepunched nonwoven adhesive fabric needled or thermally bonded to a supporting fabric. The supporting fabric is a tuftable woven primary backing fabric comprising thermoplastic warp and weft yarns having substantially rectangular cross-sections. The nonwoven adhesive fabric comprises fibers or filaments of a thermoplastic resin having flow properties corresponding to a MI of above 30 g/10 min. as measured in accordance with ASTM D 1238 at 190 C. The nonwoven adhesive fabric also has a melting point at least about 20 C. less than a melting point of the thermoplastic of the yarns of the supporting fabric so that the nonwoven-adhesive fabric is capable of melting fully in a final product. The melted fabric can help secure pile to the backing in carpet applications.
